The Ice Factor Program has been working together with NHL Players association, stopconcussions.com and USA Vs Canada Ice Hockey Classic for several years now. This year marked the first time the teams have actually played a game in Adelaide, Entertainment Centre on the 24th of June.

Before the game some of the superstars such as Bryce Salvador (Former New Jersey Devils captain), John Scott (NHL All stars game MVP 2016), Ben Scrivens (Montreal Canadiens) and Terry Yake (Anaheim Mighty Ducks) spent an afternoon

teaching our students some ice hockey skills. Most schools were able to participate and the NHL players were very positively surprised when over 150 hockey hungry players showed up to the IceArenA. Our students had been talking about this event for months and what the players delivered exceeded expectations. The students were just as excited to mingle with the players off the ice as they were on the ice.

We would like to say a huge thank you to Kerry Goulet and Toni Miil for organising this event aswell as thank Bryce Salvador, John Scott, Ben Scrivens and Terry Yake for giving our students an inspiring ice hockey session.​
